Summary

The bill renames the segment of United States Highway 190 between River Road and Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge as the "Jesse Jackson Memorial Highway." The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development must install and maintain signage for the new name, but only if local or private funds cover the actual cost, up to $2,250 per sign. The change honors civil‑rights leader Jesse Jackson and affects drivers and local residents who travel the corridor.
